Sunday, May 7th: 10:15AM - In-Person and On-Line

The healing power of connection – it’s about discovering ourselves both loved and loving – and it’s where our scripture reading takes us this Sunday.  Amidst these images of vines and branches, abiding and fruitfulness, we’ll be celebrating communion this Sunday, taking into our hands and into our bodies these earthy elements of grain and grapes that somehow connect us with Jesus.  For those gathering online, you may wish to have some bread and wine or juice available to you as you come into our time together, enabling you to share in the fullness of our celebration.

POST-SERVICE ZOOM Coffee Chat (join others online after the service)

"Jennie B. Powers: The Woman Who Dares" tells the story of a Progressive Era woman who became a Humane Society agent and one of the first female deputy sheriffs in the country, with jurisdiction in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont. Armed with both a camera and a revolver, she was said to have arrested more men than any other woman in the United States, rescued thousands of animals, and protected countless women and children from domestic violence. A co-production of the Historical Society of Cheshire County and SALT Project, this short documentary explores Powers’ life and legacy, inspiring a hope born of courage in the face of suffering and injustice.

Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe Me.”

Look
What happens 
With a love like that,
It lights the whole 
Sky.
